The two are ferry terminals mapped differently right now. Basically, with the way Swartz Bay is mapped, the highway=motorway stops when it is no longer physically a motorway. This results in a map that is better for local navigation and on foot, but one that may have issues with long distance navigation. I am not sure if it does or not. The most obvious question to me is, what do we do to the route relations that include the ferry terminals? For example, the Trans-Canada Highway includes Horseshoe Bay and Departure Bay and it is not clear which road, if any, should be in the relation if they were mapped like Swartz Bay. The 17 include Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay. What is currently done is the route does not include the service roads leading to the ferry dock point, but does include the ferry route. It also has FIXME=fix ferry For any non-locals, this is a list of the major BC ferry terminals and the relevant route relations: Duke Point (Near Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island): http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.16101&lon=-123.88407&zoom=15 Departure Bay (Near Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island): http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.19126&lon=-123.95188&zoom=17 Swartz Bay (Near Sidney, on Vancouver Island): http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.68638&lon=-123.40825&zoom=16 Tsawwassen (Near Ladner, on the mainland): http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.0081&lon=-123.12499&zoom=16 Horseshoe Bay (Near West Vancouver, on the mainland): http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.37437&lon=-123.27077&zoom=17 Highway 17 (Delta to Victoria): http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/417826 Highway 1 (Trans-Canada): BC Super-relation: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/417784 Mainland relation: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1308252 Island relation: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1308318 _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
